God of Death, Undeath, Plague, Disease Heavily intertwined with Gods and Goddesses of Justice, Life, Health[/b][/color][/center] [hr] [center][img]http://i.imgur.com/cjboX23.png[/img] [color=black]Terribly Torn, the Face of Death and Un-death [b]It is told that Morsay is not human, nor elf, nor goblin, nor beast or creature, yet he is all at the same time. It appears that those who have seen Morsay, [i]the rare few who have seen Morsay[/i], claim that he was a god of their race. It is indeed true - a fact of simplicity for Morsay. He makes the conscious effort to appear to mortals as their own race, and as such a goblin who sees Morsay would see him as a goblin, and similarly, a human would see him as a human.[/b][/color][/center] [hr] Morsay commands control over the fate of the dead and un-dead. It is he, Morsay, who controls the tidings of the infinite souls that roam his territory - and it is he who decides whom may live again under his control as a peon. Thorough he is, when he spits the ashes of his dusty dominion for the bones of the fallen, but mistake him not - when he brings un-death to the bones of the ill-fortuned and deceased, it is not the creation of life - that honour goes to which ever god has the power of life - it is merely the animation of a faltering, sickly body with the willing or unwilling soul. Though, few his skills and powers may be, he is a God of grave importance. Without Morsay of Death and Undeath, there would be none to stem the flow of the deceased, and the mortal plane would fill itself with the wandering bodies of those who died and had no place to go to - a fate far worse than living under Morsay's control. With none to retrieve the souls, to harbour them in his infinite domain of ash and dust, where would they go, after all? Indeed, even a God with a skillset as small as Morsay can prove to be among the most important. Without him, the Mortal plane would be flooded with pestilence, death, and the undead would rule the world, spreading their filth. Nary does the traveler know that Morsay also controls plague and disease - when a man falls dead of illness, it is Morsay's doing, as he had determined this man had needed to die. When plague swoops the land, it is Morsay's hand pushing the cloud of illness forwards, uprooting the weak and infirm from their homes to take their place in his domain. Fear not the plague, fear not the illness - fear Morsay, claiming his due souls for his realm.

Silent are the bones to which they pray, though it stops them not.[/b][/color][/center] [hr] Morsay was among the first Gods, as when life was created, so was death - the two must exist in unison, so Morsay existed in unison with the God who created life. Morsay was not one to combine forces with the other Gods, and for the longest time he excluded himself from the others, living in his infinite domain, burrowing the ashes for the remains and souls of those who had perished. Although the people live in harmony, there were still those who died, and found themselves trapped in the ashes, their souls wandering his lands, as they stretched far and wide. Although the other gods still wandered the Earth at this time, Morsay was not among them, choosing not to spend his time on Earth but in his own domain. As time inched onwards, his reasons became clear - and the more time passed, the more dead would arrive at his domain. It was at that time that he made the first Undead - a saint of sorts among followers of Morsay, named 'Mortam Cristophar,' who returned to the earth in his undead form to become a champion of Morsay. Mortam Cristophar was under Morsay's control and did his bidding in exchange for power and guidance, and so, when the war between the Forsaken and the other Gods began, it was not Morsay that fought, it was Mortam Cristophar who joined the legions of combatants. [center][img]http://i.imgur.com/ABpDzBY.jpg?1[/img] [color=black][b]Mortam Cristophar, the Saint of Morsay, champion of the Undead and combatant in the Legions fighting against the Forsaken[/b][/color][/center] [b]But,[/b] Morsay is no fool. He knew that the conflict would cause more and more deaths to occur, which would increase his power, filling his domain with more bones, skulls, and above all, more souls. Pondering for years on end, while the conflict raged on, he finally concluded and created a grand structure of bone and hide, and combined the souls of a hundred foul beasts - orc, ogre, troll, beast alike - and forced them into this grotesque being, the likes of which had not been seen before. He said to this creation, "go, go to the mortal plane, and fight for the Forsaken - listen to his command, but remain my beast, so I say it, so it will be," and so the beast did, and returned to the mortal plane with help of Morsay, and he fought for the Forsaken and killed many enemies, so that the number of souls in Morsay's realm grew larger and larger. When the Gods asked him why he had supported the Forsaken, Morsay had not answered them, merely secluding himself in his realm. Though it angered the Gods greatly, they also acknowledged the presence of his champion and Mortam, Cristophar, and they could say little of Morsay's actions, only chastise him for his support of both sides. When the creations Morsay had created finally met, the hideous creature and Mortam Cristophar, they exchanged blows, but neither of the two perished, and they were equally matche - a testament to the skill Cristophar had possessed on his own, for his maker had created both him and his enemy, and not even the souls of ten impure creatures could kill him. It was during that time that the great breakthrough in the war occurred, and so the creature returned to the Forsaken to aid him, but it was then that Morsay finally appeared before the creature, finally showing himself to the other gods, as well as the Forsaken, and the hordes of people that fought on either side. In the confusion of battle, it would be hard to make out, but Morsay did grab the beast by the head, and swung it left to right to bring it back under his control. When the beast had remembered his origins, it was then that it realized who Morsay was, and so he followed his command. "I, Morsay, command you, turn against the legions of the Forsaken and aid your master, which is now Mortam Cristophar," an so the beast did. Alongside Mortam Cristophar, the hideous beast and it's new master joined the battle once again, and found themselves fighting the followers of the Forsaken, providing a boon in this battle. They had both served their purpose, and Morsay relinquished them from their duties, granting them eternal life and power in his domain. In the following eons, Morsay would be seen little, and heard from even less. His devout followers continue to worship him, his presence indubitably there. But his champions became less frequent as well, and there were only ever one or two people marked by him at any given time - more commonly, beings that were still alive would be marked with undeath by him, causing them to rot and lose parts of their skin, showing their bones and marking them as his champion and servant. The amount of choice he has in his own realm for champions has spoiled him, however, and he would not be satisfied with just [i]any[/i] champion, only the best, since there are countless legendary warriors to choose from among his souls in his realm.[/hider] [b]Still slightly WIP, there's more I want to add still. I'm gonna add my other deity and their respective 2 humans later this week.[/b]
